Uncompahgre near Roubideau, built in the 1820s and 1830s respectively. Captain John
W. Gunnison followed the Gunnison River in search of a railroad route in 1853, and by the
1880s, miners moving into the area had forced out the indigenous Ute Indians, who were
removed to reservations. The GGRA contains 11 documented occurrences of root cellars,
log cabin remains, privies, corrals, trails, inscriptions, sheds, trash scatters, a dam and
canal, and other archeological remains of short-term Euro-American occupation.
